📋 About This Mod
This Base Object Swapper ini simply replaces glowing mushroom/cave fungus/mutant cave fungus statics with the pickable activator versions.
This is a replacement for Usable Fungus Stalks, which uses scripting to switch the references out, which results in them visibly switching upon a save load with them visible.
If memory serves, they would also repopulate upon save load, but I may be mistaken.
Requirements:
Base Object Swapper is the only requirement.
Installation:
Regular installation.
Please endorse and vote if you appreciate the mod.
Compatibility:
Compatible with any mods which use the standard statics.
Questions:
Can I switch from the scripted version to this version mid-save?
Yes, it's perfectly safe to do so.
Credits:
Qunai's mod prompted me to make this version. I originally sent this version to them if they wanted to upload it, but after not getting a response I've elected to upload it here. If I get a response in the affirmative, I'll take this down for simplicity.
Thanks to warhammerempire for an updated version of the file that made the meshes match their originals better.
Permissions:
Do whatever.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (150k+) shows it's widely used and trusted
- Makes harvesting fungus much more convenient without altering game balance
- Base Object Swapper approach means fewer conflicts with other mods
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper as a dependency, so you need to install that first
- Only affects three types of fungus—if you wanted more variety, this won't cover it
- No visual changes—just swaps static objects for activators, so don't expect new textures
For Skyrim players who are tired of walking past glowing mushrooms and not being able to pick them.

Skip if you're looking for new plant models or expanded fungus types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the swaps won't work.
- Load order doesn't matter much for BOS mods, but keep it active in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod that also edits these fungus statics, check for conflicts—BOS usually handles them well, but it's worth testing.
